\huge\textsf{Hey there!}


\mathsf{(x)/(3)-2=6}


\mathsf{= (1)/(3)x - 2 = 6}


\textsf{ADD 2 BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{(1)/(3)x - 2 + 2 = 6 + 2}


\textsf{CANCEL out: -2 + 2 because that gives you 1}


\textsf{KEEP: 6 + 2 because that helps solve for x}


\mathsf{6 + 2 = \boxed{\bf 8}}


\mathsf{NEW \ EQUATION: (1)/(3)x = 8}


\textsf{MULTIPLY 8 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{3*(1)/(3)x=3*8}


\mathsf{CANCEL\ out: \ 3 * (1)/(3) \ because \ that \ gives \ you \ 1}


\mathsf{KEEP: \ 3 * 8 \ because \ that\ gives \ you \ the \ value \ of \ x}


\mathsf{\boxed{\bf x}= 3*8}


\mathsf{3*8 = \boxed{\bf x}}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge \bf x = 24}}}\huge\checkmark
